Bridgestone Americas has introduced the Bridgestone Greatec R125, a new super wide trailer axle radial.
Approved for use on EPA SmartWay-certified equipment, the new super wide features Bridgestone’s Equalizer Rib and Defense Groove technology to fight irregular wear, and stress relief siping to reduce rib stress and promote even wear.
The tire also features sidewall protector ribs, stone ejector platforms in the tread grooves, and belt designs for casing curability and on-road stability.
No specific sizes were announced.
“Greatec R125 is an excellent choice for fleets who prefer to use wide base single trailer tires to increase revenue-producing payload,” said Chris Hoffman, manager of TBR and retread product marketing for Bridgestone. “Its design also promotes superior rolling resistance, making it an excellent choice for those participating in the SmartWay transportation partnership, and to meet today’s California’s CARB requirements.
